LOCAL SUMMARY.
A big snow storm
And a terrible cold wave.

Durlng tnc past week ABOUT wv
feet Of snow fell, giving us a debth
of about four feet. Monday night it
commenced to blow and continued
though Tue sday, practically suspen-
ding all travel. The Chester stage
only reached Thompsonburgh on
that day. The railroads suffered
suffered greatly. The narrow gauge
morning train down, Tuesday only
reached Jamaica in the afternoon
where it was met by the snow pillow,
and it followed it back to this place.
Wednesday it reocded Brattleboro
about three hours behind time.
Tuesday night cold wave struck
us, and was more severe, in many
localities thru known for number
Of years. This place seemed to have
been favored, as the mercury, on.
" reached 10 below zero Wednes-
day, while at Jamaica it went to 81
at Brattleboro it was from 80 to 3S,
at Bellows Falls, 40, Woodstock,
IS, Canaan, N. H. So.
S. M. Holden came near perish
ing iu the blizzard, Tuesday uight
on his way home from the village.
He got within 50 rods of his house
but could go no farther. Finally his
cries attracted attention, and his son
with great effort got him into the
house.
An intelligent lady of this village,
suggests, in view of the fact that
summer visitors are going to swarm
upon us like the locusts of Egypt,
overtaxing the capacity of onr little
railroad, the feasibility of channeling
and dredging West River so as to
make it navigable. This strikes us
as a capital idea, and no doubt Mar
tin will send up Hit, at once, to
make the necessary surveys.
One of the queer things of life is
that the man who knows it all sell
dom can tell any of it to anybody's
satisfaction.
The proprietor of the Saltwater
Sky-Rocket Hotel is thoroughly
renovating his extensive establish
ment, touching up the frcscoes, lay
ing down new carpets, putting in
new furniture, gas fixtures etc. pre-
paratory to receiving the thousands
of persons who will summer here
next season.
When you 60 to Brattleboro and are
hungry the best place to get good meal,
at reasonable price is at the Vendom
Dining room, Elliot street.
